VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA'S WILD IRISES IN THE TOWN OF RAMAPO, NEW YORK
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).

"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (New International Version, Revelation 21:22 Multilingual).
MJ Lee: Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise
Etsy: Today, we are removing confederate flag items from our marketplace.
Overstock.com: Overstock.com’s website policy prohibits the sale of products that promote or glorify violent or hateful actions or stances. This prohibition now includes Confederate flags and items with associated iconography, and we have ensured that no such items are available for purchase through Overstock.com.
Walmart: We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the Confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our website.
Terence Richard McAuliffe: I wanted to say a couple of words about last week’s horrific tragedy at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.
First and foremost, I want to express, on behalf of all Virginians, our heartfelt sympathies to all members of the Emanuel Church Community, as well as the larger community in the City of Charleston.
In the days since last week’s tragic shooting, the people of Charleston have displayed unparalleled unity and courage, and they have made all Americans proud.
I also want to commend my colleague, Governor Nikki Haley, for her leadership yesterday in calling for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the state Capitol grounds in Columbia.
As Governor Haley said yesterday, her state can ill afford to let this symbol continue to divide the people of South Carolina.
I believe the same is true here in Virginia.
Although the battle flag is not flown here on Capitol Square, it has been the subject of considerable controversy, and it divides many of our people.
Even its display on state issued license tags is, in my view, unnecessarily divisive and hurtful to too many of our people.
As you all know, I have spent the past 17 months working to build a new Virginia economy that is more open and welcoming to everyone. Removing this symbol from our state-issued license plates will be another step toward realizing that goal.
While it is true that legislation passed by the General Assembly in 1999 requires specialty license plates for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the legislation specifically attempted to prevent the Confederate emblem from being part of the design. Federal court decisions, however, required DMV to allow the emblem in the design.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could indeed prevent the confederate emblem from being placed on their license plates, directly contradicting the prior court rulings in Virginia. Accordingly, I have directed the following actions to remove the Confederate emblem from state-issued license plates.
First, this morning I asked the Attorney General’s office to take steps to reverse the prior Court ruling that requires the Confederate flag be placed on state license plates.
Second, I have directed Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne to develop a plan for replacing the currently-issued plates as quickly as possible.
Kevin B. Kamenetz: We believe Lake Roland Park is more reflective of this open space treasure, and we are confident that the City will approve our request, and I expect to make a joint announcement with the City about the name change in the very near future.

senior: We strengthened our readiness for the northern arena
Alex Cruz: I am a Filipino, but a resident/employee in Saudi Arabia. Can I go to Israel and return to the Kingdom after my trip to Israel?
Ashley: Alex, Saudi Arabia doesn’t accept Israeli-stamped passports, so I think you’d have to use a second passport.
Michael: I am Jewish and have had no trouble visiting Saudi Arabia as part of my work. In the "Religion" blank on the visa application, I put down ‘Jewish’ and they returned my visa and passport in the normal amount of time.
Claire: I have recently been to Turkmenistan – would this also be considered dodgy for the Israeli’s?
Vania Melamed: Claire, I hate to say it, but as long as you’re not Muslim, there is nothing suspicious about a woman named Claire visiting Israel who has also visited Turkmenistan.
Ashley: Claire, I honestly have no idea. I guess the Israeli embassy would know…
I am a Filipino citizen a former foreign worker in Israel, Jerusalem for over 7.5yrs. with my kids both born in this country. We went home for good about 3yrs and 7months ago and now I am planning to have our vacation cos we already missed the place alot, our friends everything about Israel we love it. Now, we have a renewed passports issued here in the Philippines in which the one with the Israeli stamped passport was in the old one that we are no longer using,my question, is there any problem the immigration will refuse us for the entry visa after several years of being there in the country and now entering again but for a different purpose of just spending only our vacation?
I believe that if you have return flights booked and that you can show the immigration guys, you should be more than OK. Without the tickets I believe they will give you a hard time…hope that helps!
Samuel Kurinsky: The term "Hebrew" can be readily interpreted as a sociological rather than a tribal or ethnic appellation. The term first appears in Genesis in the sense of migrants, or of displaced slaves, servants or artisans who served a deity who was with them wherever they went.
GMA: An overseas Filipino worker who claimed he was gang-raped by five men in Saudi Arabia last May now faces another problem: mounting medical bills.
Marylou Sulit Muga Tutorial: There is No Freedom for the Workers. There isa time when EEUU can Go Out. EEUU cannot Go there Easily. There isa Curfew Inn EVERYTHING. EEUU cannot make noise. E.T. is Very Strict |<
||So said the Lord, |Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. But if you refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all your borders with frogs. And the Nile will swarm with frogs, and they will go up and come into your house and into your bedroom and upon your bed and into the house of your servants and into your people, and into your ovens and into your kneading troughs; and into you and into your people and into all your servants, the frogs will ascend. Say to Aaron, stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt.|||
And they embittered their lives with hard labor, with clay and with bricks and with all kinds of labor in the fields, all their work that they worked with them with back breaking labor.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"The Terror you inspire and the Pride of your Heart has deceived you, O Dwellers in the Clefts of the Rock, who Occupy the Heights of the Hill, who says in his Heart, 'Who will bring me down to Earth?' Though you may rise High like the Eagle and though you set your Nest among the Stars, from there I will bring you down, declares YHVH" (Obadiah 1:3-4 Multilingual, Jeremiah 49:16 Multilingual).
Translation: "The United States of America which is called, according to The Spirit, 'In the Name of Sedom and Egypt,' where also their Lord was crucified" (Apocalypse 11:8 Multilingual).
Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
